The only thing I would advise is that Mathews has a chip on his shoulder and takes it upon himself to take down Andre Grabar, Ernst Kitzinger and a few others.
That doesn't change the fact that Mathews is brilliant, but he erects several straw men against Kitzinger and others and they are all dead and can't defend themselves.
Jas Elsner's "Art and the Roman Viewer" is also good but tendentious.
